TL;DR: The ENDF/B-VII.1 library as mentioned in this paper is the most widely used data set for nuclear data analysis and has been updated several times over the last five years. But the most recent version of the ENDF-B-VI.0 library is based on the JENDL-4.0 standard.

TL;DR: The history of the evaluation process for the standards is discussed from the first rather primitive one to the latest very sophisticated evaluation that was an international cooperative effort.
Abstract: The measurement of a neutron cross section can be simplified if it is measured relative to a neutron cross section standard. Then it is not necessary to measure the neutron fluence. The standards in effect provide determinations of the neutron fluence. These standards are not defined standards but instead working standards. As such it is important to make measurements to improve the quality of the standards. Also better techniques for evaluating the standards must be promoted. The history of the evaluation process for the standards is discussed from the first rather primitive one to the latest very sophisticated evaluation that was an international cooperative effort. An overview of the main detectors used for applications of the standards is given.
